12th Due Date, Being Induced Tonight

Normally baby girl is active, more app in the evenings. But all day today I noticed she wasn't as active, and after eating dinner around 6:30pm she still wasn't moving much which was very odd. So I called my doctor who told me to check into triage at the hospital. While there baby was monitored and I was given an IV. Babies moments were low, but her vitals were good. I have GD, my due date was the 12th and my doctor scheduled to induce me on Monday night. Because of all that, my doctor decided to be safe to admit us into labor and delivery and start the induction process tonight. They have me the ripening agent around 11:45pm. In the morning they will pull the ripening agent, break my water and start induction with pitosin. Has anyone out there gone into labor with just the ripping agent? ?? I'm hoping I do. I was 1cm and 70% effaced when I got here. I think I'm still not filling comprehending that this time tomorrow there will be a baby, I'll be a mom.

I'm a FTM (first time mom) so no experience but due on the 12th and wanted to say best of luck that things go smoothly for you. I'm sure there's dozens of moms on our board who have been through what you're going through. Great job following your instincts -- you'll be a great mama!
